Mid-Episode Sponsor Break: Framer, SimpliSafe & LinkedIn
At 19:35 · chapter starts 17:25
The mid-point commercial break covers three sponsors. Framer is pitched as a pro site builder for teams that want production-ready, visually-designed websites, with an AI agent that works on the same canvas as the human team — offering 30% off an annual Pro plan at framer.com/profg. SimpliSafe leads with a dramatic break-in-every-26-seconds statistic and promotes its AI-powered live agent monitoring at 50% off with promo code Spotify. LinkedIn closes with a pitch for HiringPro, claiming nearly 60% of users find someone to interview within a week, and invites small businesses to post jobs for free at LinkedIn.com/prof.
